A special coin was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Aneurin Bevan's establishment of the National Health Service in 1948. The NHS was founded on the principle of providing universal healthcare, funded entirely through taxation, ensuring that medical services are accessible to everyone. The coin, designed by David Cornell, honours this milestone in British healthcare history.
